Smith went 3-for-4 with a walk, double, homer, six RBI and two runs scored Tuesday against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Smith kicked off his impressive effort with a three-run homer in the first frame, his 11th of the season. He followed that up with a bases-clearing three-RBI double in the fourth inning. It was his second big performance in the past four games, as he also drove in four on May 31 against the Giants. Despite playing for the lowly Orioles, Smith has offered a .257/.302/.477 line and also chipped in 41 RBI and 31 runs across 57 games.

Smith is not starting Tuesday against Detroit, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith sits for the third time in the last seven games. His playing time has been threatened first by the trade for Keon Broxton and now by the promotion of DJ Stewart, but his .264/.307/.472 slash line should still be good enough to keep him in the lineup on a regular basis. Stevie Wilkerson starts in left field Tuesday.

Smith is not starting Wednesday against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith sits for the first time in exactly a month. Joey Rickard starts in left field in his place. Keon Broxton, acquired in a trade from the Mets on Wednesday, is likely to shake up the playing time in the Orioles' outfield, but Smith's regular role and .781 OPS make him an unlikely candidate to lose much time.

Smith went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk during a 5-1 victory against the Angels on Sunday.

Smith (quadriceps) said his leg is fine and he expects to rejoin the starting lineup Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith exited Sunday's game against the Twins with left quadriceps tightness, though it doesn't sound like the issue will force him to miss more than a game. The outfielder said he could have played Monday, but the Orioles evidently wanted to play it safe with him. His return should push Stevie Wilkerson, who is starting in left field Monday, back to the bench.
